The City of Lloydminster is calling on local residents to voice their priorities for municipal programs, services and future financial investments as it kicks off its 2027 budget engagement campaign.

The public consultation period, which opened Thursday, will run until Aug. 19. The feedback gathered is slated to help municipal administration map out and shape the initial draft of the 2027 budget before it goes to city council for final deliberations.
“Municipal budgets impact the services residents rely on every day, from roads and parks to recreation facilities and emergency services,” Mayor Gerald Aalbers said in a news release.
“This engagement process gives residents an opportunity to share what matters most to them and help shape decisions that will support Lloydminster’s future.”
The city’s budget engagement survey focuses on evaluating current and desired service levels across five core municipal areas:
- Transportation services
- Protective services
- Parks and green spaces
- Leisure services
- Municipal funding and long-term budgeting
Residents looking to participate can fill out an online survey or submit inquiries through the Q&A tool at YourVoiceLloyd.ca/2027Budget. Paper copies of the survey are also available at the Lloydminster Public Library and various city-owned facilities.
The city plans to host in-person engagement events throughout the campaign, with dates and locations to be updated on the project’s webpage.
